There’s a warning in one of the logs that the licence engine process is running as an administrator. Is that something you’ve done yourself? Neither Dorico nor SAM should need to run as administrator.

Hi Richard

I didnt elevate it to Administrator no. How do I change this and in any case do you think it would cause the issue?

Still the same this morning - Steinberg Licence engine is not responding.

I’m currently running Nuendo 14 on same computer but cant start Dorico. Howeevr I also own Wavelab and it is also not starting after giving it a check there.

Uninstalled SAM and Re-installed it and it seems to have fixed the issue. Windows 11 has done some strange things to my system over the past week it seems. Likely Windows Updates
